Cheap partners

Years ago I went hunting for a few days with a guy I had known for years but never hunted with. We took my truck and went to one of the spots I used to go to every couple of years that has always been productive. He made it clear that whomever shot the deer would keep all the meat. Since it was a deer and not a moose I didn't really care but most of the time hunting with others we would all help each other out and meat was shared or at least offered to be shared. But nope, not even grilling up the tenderloins in camp was his plan.

I heard a shot in the morning but just kept hunting until lunch time then drove up to the area I had dropped him off. It was evident he had spent several hours retrieving and processing the deer and asked why I didn't come help him when I heard the shot. I told him since he wasn't sharing meat I assumed he didn't want to share the work either.

I think I saw a lightbulb go on in his head at that point. :)
